La Marmotte 2016 goes online for registration on Monday 9th November at noon.

Since 1983 this epic 178 km tour with over 5,000 metres of climbing has been routed around our area of the French Alps.

Every cyclist knows about La Marmotte and its illustrious climbs, including the Col du Glandon, Telegraphe, Galibier and a finish Alpe d’Huez, which is why the Marmotte attracts 7,000 avid cyclists every year.

In 2015 the organisation was forced to change the course following the collapse at the Tunnel du Chambon but we are advised that for 2016 the event is back to its traditional route including the Galibier once more.
